  Suppose the FreedomBox catches on, and there's a Tor node on half of them. That could represents millions of Tor exit nodes within 5 years. That should turn the tide, don't you think?

    If we're playing the suppose game, what if the chinese government collapses? That'd turn the tide too, and there's probably a better chance of that happening then there ever being millions of tor exits.

      I'm playing the guessing game because I believe the FreedomBox will happen (more than 0.9 probability within 5 years). We have the hardware and most of the software. The final set-up should take a year or so, then we just have to sell that. And selling will be easy. Who wouldn't want a bit of personal cloud at home? We don't even need to overthrow Microsoft, or eradicate Windows. No coercion is required, except with some ISPs. The Chinese government collapsing within 5 years? That takes a revolution. I assign less than 0.1 probability to that.
